Unionigt votes In the House Of Commons
like 90 much merchandise. In his eyes these
arch mutineers arc henceforth outcasts from

Westminster was made ut no Round Table

about 1t. From them, Of course, they con

them to help themselves or one another"
In fine, his personal experience OF tone

HUNTINGTON "a sad, bewildered realization
OF the horrors OF state OF things where
manhood is brutalized, womanhood dishon-
ored, childhood poisoned at Its very source"
And he calls on every Christian man TO
"strive for the destruction OF the tenement

Injustice to ohio's Noblest Son.

A prominent Republican of northern Ohio
remarks in private letter thatin his county,
Cuyahoga, mir. SHERMAN is hardly more pop
ular than in Hancock where the great battle
of Lima was fought and lost by his generals
a few days ago.
"The Republicans are all for BLAINE"
writes our informant. 1.-THE main reason
of the dislike OF SHERMAN on tho part OF the
Republicans Of tho Western Reserve is due
to tho wretched imbecility of the HAYES
deal whereby PACKARD was traded out in
Louisiana. If PACKARD was not elected
Governor, then HAYES was notelected Pres
ident,' is the usual wIid-up Of all references
to that episode"
The logic of this argument b. indeed, I'M
answerable. II PACKARD was not elected,
HAYES was not AS q matter Of fact, neither
of them was elected, and we violate no con-
tidence in saying SO openly.
But is 1t not rather rough on Ohio's ablest
and noblest son to charge to his personal ac-
count the betrayal Of PACKARD2 JOHN SHEER
MAN worked like beaver to count HAYES
In. The treacherous overthrow OF the PACK
ARD Government was part Of the bargain
that made the Inauguration Of HAYES posi-
BILE. But whether JOHN SHERMAN had a
larger share in that dismal business than his
associates in the Fraudulent Cabinet, Mr..

The Tenement House Population.

Father HUNTINGTON, tho Protestant monk,
has for several years cast his lot among tho
inhabitants Of one Of tho most crowded dis
tricts of the east side OF the town, and has
himself lived in tenement house. He
therefore writes from personal experience
when he describes, in tho last number Of tho
Forum, tho harisliips suffered by tho tene-
mcnt house population, and tho evil moral
influences by which they are surrounded.
Under tho conditions of tenement house
existence, says Father HUNTINGTON, deccnoy
and morality are always lighting at fearful
odds against vilencss and corruption.
Dwellers In tenement blocks cannot get out
of the sight and sound Of their neghbors,
and especially In warm weather. when win
dows and doors aro open, privacy Is not
much more possible than In an Eastern cara
vansary or tho stccrage Of an emigrant
vessel" Every loud word spoken reaches
the ears of scores Of people, and often it Is q
word OF blasphemy or OF lewdness. Young
people come home from the shop, where
they have been compelled "to breathe an at
mosphere foul with moral corruption" to
encounter yet more deadly moral conta-
gion." "The very tones OF the voices that l
have heard from my room In tenement
house." he continues. brought with them a
sense of moral contamination" Even bodily
cleanliness Is almost impossible, and sin most
families what little washing is done must be
done In tho presence of Others, and often all
the water used must be carried up three or
four flights OF narrow winding stairs"
Yet the great body of these people are
Woodworking men and women, who would
bring up their children to lead pure and good
